Reagan's First Attempt at Dance Class

Today Reagan had her very first dance class. I am not sure who was more excited, me or her. I think I have been thinking about this since day since finding out she was a girl. I had called around and most places started dance at 2 years, but she allowed Reagan to go ahead and start since her birthday is in August.

We went and checked out the studio and it was so adorable. She would be in the princess room. There were pink and white stripes painted on the wall, a princess castle painted on one wall and 2 big pink chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, I was in love. We bought her 2 leotards, tap shoes, ballet shoes and tights. (and an elmo doll that she HAD to have)

The class started at 9:45am and there were 3 other moms that were joining class along with Reagan, I met them at My Gym. Their girls are the same age as Reagan so we decided to all give the Dance/Jazz/Tap class a chance. Needless to say it was a HUGE flop. The instructor was way to serious, not fun at all. She was definitely a professional but I don't think she realize these girls were 2, not 5. She was very strict, the music was boring and Reagan could have cared less about what she was doing. (and honestly I don't blame her, I thought she was a little too serious as well.)

After class we all left and tried to get our money back for enrollment and for the month since none of the girls enjoyed the class. We just told them we didn't think they were old enough or ready for it, even though I wanted to say it wasn't fun at all and she was way to strict. I also tried returning some of the attire I bought that was required for the class. I spent 150 dollars on all of her stuff, to which they only gave me store credit in return. Seriously? What am I going to do with 100 dollars of store credit to a place with nothing but dance attire?! Nothing! Unless I want to sit out and wait for someone to spend the money and say, " Hi, I have 100 dollars in store credit, can you use my store credit and give me the cash for what you are buying?" - Ugh, NO not doing that! Or spend the money on TuTu's that she will never wear.

Anyways, I guess I had a little to high of hopes for Reagan entering dance. Or maybe that was just the wrong place. Looks like we will have to just wait and give it a try a little later on, unless they want to start playing some Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber in there, then we'll be back!

(looks like she has the pointed toes down!)
